A gravity inversion procedure using the success-history-based adaptive differential evolution (SHADE) algorithm is presented to reconstruct the 3-D basement relief geometry in sedimentary basins. We introduced exponential population size (number) reduction (EPSR) to reduce the computational cost and used self-adaptive ...
Our understanding of the geodynamo has recently progressed thanks to geomagnetic data of improved quality, and analyses resting on numerical simulations of increasing realism. Here, these two advances are combined in order to diagnose the state and present dynamics of Earth’s core in physically realistic conditions. A ...
Turkey is characterized by a high level of seismic activity attributed to its complex tectonic structure. The country has a dense network to record earthquake ground motions; however, to study previous earthquakes and to account for potential future ones, ground motion simulations are required. Ground motion simulation ...
The joint ESA/NASA Mass-change And Geosciences International Constellation (MAGIC) has the objective to extend time-series from previous gravity missions, including an improvement of accuracy and spatio-temporal resolution. The long-term monitoring of Earth’s gravity field carries information on mass change induced by ...
Since electromagnetic (EM) fields diffuse more smoothly to greater depth, it physically makes sense to apply fine discretization to model structure at near surface with an increasingly coarser grid both in horizontal and vertical directions as the depth increases for the numerical solution of EM fields. For ...
An important element of seismic tomography is the inversion process. In this work, we use P -wave arrival times of local earthquakes recorded at onshore and offshore seismic stations in East Japan to investigate the influence of two well-known inversion algorithms (LSQR and L-BFGS-B) on anisotropic tomography. Our ...
The spatiotemporal evolution of drought is often modulated by climate and watershed characteristics. While numerous drought studies using space geodesy have been conducted in Yunnan, the scarcity and limited sensitivity of observation instruments have hindered the development of watershed-scale drought analyses. This study ...
Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is the current standard method to determine final and detailed model parameters to be used in the seismic imaging process. However, FWI is an ill-posed problem that easily achieves a local minimum, leading the model solution in the wrong direction. Recently, some works proposed integrating FWI ...
The Mass Change and Geoscience International Constellation (MAGIC) is planned as the first realization of a double-pair low-low satellite-to-satellite (ll-sst) tracking gravity mission consisting of a polar and an inclined satellite pair. Due to the much increased spatial and temporal resolution and multidirectionality of ...
We use machine-learning and cross-correlation techniques to enhance earthquake detectability by two magnitude units for the earthquake sequence near Musreau Lake, Alberta, which is induced by wastewater disposal. This deep catalogue reveals a series of en echelon ∼N–S oriented strike-slip faults that are favourably ...

In the past decade, six $M_w\, \ge$ 5.5 earthquakes struck the mountainous Golden Triangle region (Laos, Thailand, Myanmar) of the southeast India–Eurasia collision zone. The largest of them, the 2019 $M_w$ 6.2 Sainyabuli earthquake in western Laos, shook river communities, dams and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, prompting ...

It is well known that nonlinear site effects may arise in soils during strong ground motion. This translates into a decrease in propagation velocity, shift of resonance frequencies, increased material damping and lessened ground motion amplification. In this study, we introduce a time-frequency resonance analysis (TFRA) ...

According to the classical Mohr–Coulomb–Anderson theory, faults form at an angle from the largest regional compressive stress that is approximately 30° for most rocks. However, real settings are more complex and faults often present orientations inconsistent with the angles predicted by the classical theory applied to the ...
